Arthropod Anatomy

This category has the following 8 subcategories out of 8 total. Generally the exoskeleton has few distinguishing ventral features but the cephalon often preserves muscle attachment scars and occasionally the hypostome a small rigid plate comparable to the ventral plate in other arthropods.

Arthropod anatomy. Clypeus arthropod anatomy the post clypeus is a large nose like structure that lies between the eyes and makes up much of the front of the head in cicadas. Antennae are connected to the first one or two segments of the arthropod head. Characteristics anatomy groups description.

Antenna sometimes referred to as feelers are paired appendages used for sensing in arthropods. Jump to navigation jump to search. Anatomy physiology of arthropods 1.

General 11 introduction 12 classification unit 2. Antenna biology antennae singular. In arthropods a structure that is composed of several fused body segments that is typically specialized for a specific function mandibles one of a pair of jaw like feeding appendages found in myriapods hexapods and crustaceans.

Arachnids spiders mites scorpions. An arthropod is an invertebrate animal that has an exoskeleton a segmented body and jointed appendages. The segments within a tagma may be either fused or so jointed as to be independently moveable.

You have probably seen many different types of arthropodsjust in the last day. This category is for articles about the anatomy of arthropods. Phylum arthropoda includes an enormous assemblage.

In a given taxon the names assigne. It may help to remember that the term arthropod comes from the greek words for jointed foot. A toothless mouth and stomach sat upon the hypostome with the mouth facing backwards at the rear edge of the hypostome.

In spiders the clypeus is generally the area between the anterior edge of the carapace and the anterior eyes. Usually the term is taken to refer to tagmata in the morphology of members of the phylum arthropoda but it applies equally validly in other phyla such as the chordata. In biology a tagma is a specialized grouping of multiple segments or metameres into a coherently functional morphological unit.

Familiar examples are the head the thorax and the abdomen of insects.
